How can you help our nonprofit send care packages to some of the most remote of the roughly 225,000 U.S. military troops serving overseas in 2017?

1) Donate Financially - Our greatest need is cash for our mailing costs. With no paid staff, we strive to maximize the use of donations. We are a 501(c)(3) charity, so your gifts are tax deductible. We accept checks to Airborne Angel Cadets of Texas, P.O. Box 116691, Carrollton, TX 75011. You can donate via credit card through our Click and Pledge account.

2) Donate Goods - Our all-volunteer charity is based in the Dallas area, but receives product donations from across the USA for care packages for our Soldiers and Troops overseas. We kindly request that you contact us at support@airborneangelcadets.com before sending any care package goods.

Dallas Cowboys fan in Afghanistan sends thanks for care packages

The Airborne Angel Cadets of Texas received a wonderful letter from Donna in Afghanistan (see below). We greatly appreciate Donna's thoughtfulness in thanking us for the soldiers care packages, and we thank Donna for her hard work and sacrifice while deployed far from home.

"Thank you so very much for the care packages that you sent to support our unit. It is greatly appreciated. All the time, effort, energy and money put into them is such an expression of kindness and it is greatly appreciated by us. So thank you, thank you."

"I have to tell you, I am a HUGE Dallas Cowboys fan & I love the state of TX ... And I've been a Dallas Cowboys fan my whole life. Grew up watching football and they have always been my team. Thank you TX for all the love!"

The troops love to follow their favorite sports teams back home, and like to receive sporting or recreational goods in their care packages. We would welcome inquiries from any company, organization or individual who can donate footballs, soccer balls, basketballs, or team branded clothing or memorabilia (t-shirts, caps, mugs, cups, towels, balls, etc.). We had one family donate a bunch of nice footballs last year, and those were a big hit with the troops.

College teams have big followings, as well as pro teams. While we are partial to our local Dallas teams (Cowboys, Mavericks, Rangers, Stars, etc.), we know our care package recipients overseas come from all across America. We've sent Green Bay Packers and Pittsburgh Steelers items in our care packages.
